When deep friendships become too intense to navigate alone

My best friend and I have been through everything together for fifteen years, but lately I've been pulling back because I'm scared of how much I need her and she's starting to notice the distance. We've never talked about what our friendship actually means to us or what we're allowed to ask of each other, and now that unspoken intensity feels like it might break us apart.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The very depth that makes friendship sacred can become the source of its fragility when intimacy remains unexamined.
